REVIEWS

It was an excellent experience. I will be watching the race at Bathurst in a whole new way this year.

Vikki S.

I have done the Bathurst experience now 3 times with this last one being two 4 lap experiences. On ALL occasions I've had Bruce ?? in No. 8 Falcon. Excellent. I cannot rate him high enough. Thank you to all concerned. Only perhaps an auto, my son or daughter could have had the experience as well. Thank you again.

Berend V.

Very well organised and an absolute bucket of fun!

James F.

I went with Papa G for my 4 lap drive and found him to be very patient and an excellent coach. I went with Mick Kerslake for my hot laps and I have to say it was one of the most exciting things I have ever done. Mick is a fantastic driver and at no time did I ever feel unsafe. I will be back!
